Tamanishiki San'emon (玉錦 三右衛門, December 15, 1903 - December 4 1938) was a sumo wrestler. He was the sport's 32nd Yokozuna. He won a total of nine championships.
Career
He joined Nishonoseki Stable but the stable was very small at that time. Therefore, he often visited Dewanoumi stable and was trained by yokozuna Tochigiyama Moriya. He later became head coach of Nishonoseki stable whilst still active in the ring, and under his leadership the stable enjoyed one of its most successful periods in its history.
Tamanishiki won 3 consecutive championships from October 1930 to March 1931, but he wasn't promoted to yokozuna. In January 1932, "Shunjuen-Incident" (春秋園事件, Shunjuen-Jiken) broke out.[1] The incident was the biggest walkout in sumo history. He was one of 11 top division wrestlers who remained in Ozumo[2] and assumed the first head of Rikishikai (力士会), or the association of active sumo wrestlers. He won a championship in May 1932 and was finally awarded a yokozuna licence in November 1932. He became the first yokozuna in sumo since the retirement of Miyagiyama a year and a half earlier.
Tamanishiki often went to Tatsunami stable and trained wrestlers, such as later yokozuna Futabayama Sadaji. Tatsunami stable was also small at that time, but the stable also succeeded in the sumo world later.
Tamanishiki was the first yokozuna to raise one leg high while performing Yokozuna Dohyo-iri (the yokozuna ring entering ceremony). His style was said to be beautiful and Futabayama succeeded to his style. His style is very popular now in yokozuna ceremonies.
In 1938, Tamanishiki died while an active sumo wrestler, following a delayed appendectomy.[3]
